I just finished re-reading Bear v. Shark by Chris Bachelder yesterday, which is a great book if you like satire (but also understand that it's quite post modern, so if that's not your cuppa tea you might not like it). Alls I know is that I love it. I'm still struggling through Seymour: An Introduction by JD Salinger (the novella, which is what I refer to it as, comes in a paired set with Raise High the Roofbeam, Carpenters which is actually just a short story). It's been hard for me because it's Salinger's straight character book. If you've ever read The Catcher in the Rye, or really anything else by Salinger, then you know that his works are all about characters, and what happens to them (ie: the plot) is almost a byproduct of that. However, most of his other works have some form of rising action, and so far Seymour: An Introduction seems to be simply a discussion of who Seymour Glass was to those who knew him best. And Salinger is so verbose anyway (like I have room to talk xD) that I get distracted easily. But I promise I'll get it done.

After I finally finish it, I'll read The Dubliners by James Joyce, but that will probably be a quick day read. I'm looking forward to it IF MY SISTER EVER GIVES IT BACK.

Other than that, I might go buy the third book in Stephen King's The Dark Tower series, or I might finally read The Restaurant at the End of the Universe or The Encyclopedia of Celtic Wisdom, or maybe just random stuff by Yeats. I like Yeats. But if anyone has any suggestions for me, I'd love to hear them.
